Pokémon TCG And A Proposal

[Sniper670]

Why do we still use TCG moves/abilities for some Pokémon but then decide not to use them in places for some reason. It's either the characters have them, or they don't.(and don't tell me we use them as supporting evidence. The TCG verse operates differently from mainline games)

Sorry but Dialga/Palkia have Invulnerability and I'm pretty sure that's from their tcg cards

Necrozma has resistances negation that is linked to its Pokémon card

Articuno has Invulnerability for some reason and I suspect it's from tcg again

And many others I probably forgot to mention

If TCG has been proven canon, with a manga describing exactly the origin of how the cards come to be, then why the double standards. I suggest we make a seperate key for them at least. Instead of flip flopping between using their stuff, and not using them

Dialga and palkia already had invulnerability

What's the point?

 

[Sniper670]

So why should they have tcg abilities and have it rejected for many other Pokémon. That's the question

 

[Arceus0x]

to be honest i don't mind either way. Whether they get removed or not is not a concern of mine since what i am curious about is cool feats, tiers, scaling and such. Abilities are also important and it would be cool to have TCG abilities but idk, it is not for me to decide.

 

[Sniper670]

Yeah. It's just weird how Pokémon profiles are handled here between tcg and pmd. We approve and disprove them to our convenience

Where exactly have TCG abilities been altogether disallowed before?

Where exactly have TCG abilities been altogether disallowed before?

However because of a lot of events cards which are non-canon to the series, the variety of different artists (such as fan drawing being added) as well as being mostly game-mechanic based and lacking a canon plot, most should only be used in a case by case scenario or as supporting evidence.

From the blog about canon material.

 

[GyroNutz]

Yeah, they're case by case. A lot of TCG abilities don't translate well to actual abilities cause of game mechanics. They've never been disallowed altogether tho

 

[Sniper670]

There's this manga that shows how tcg fights will happen in real time but it's not translated unfortunately

I agree that some are game mechanics but others are pretty straight forward. And no Pokémon uses a move it wouldn't be able to learn in mainline games

The lore of TCG should be canon but the moves can sometimes be game emchancisaadgggggggggggggggggg

 

[Sniper670]

Sometimes.....many are straightforward. Like tcg shadow punch, which is on Dusknoirs profile and necrozmas move
